Abstract excerpt
Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase is a cytosolic enzyme involved in the biosynthetic pathway of heme production. Decreased activity of this enzyme results in porphyria cutanea tarda and hepato erythropoietic porphyria. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) alter protein sequence and can cause disease. Identifying the deleterious nsSNPs that contribute to disease is an important task. We used five...
